A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the A pril number of this magazine for the year 1888 we printed some extracts from the Life, Journals, and Correspondence of Manasseh Cutler, describing his visit to New York and Philadelphia in the year 1787, and took occasion to say that we could not agree with the views expressed elsewhere in the volumes, that in the formation of the Ordinance of 1787 for the government of the Northwest territory Dr. Cutler rendered an all-important influence. It was our intention to have returned to the subject long before this, and, now that it is again taken up, we find that it has been the theme of a number of essays and addresses called forth by the celebration in 1888 of the centennial anniversary of the settlement at Marietta under the auspices of the Ohio Company. These investigations have been so numerous that any further consideration of the matter may look like a work of supererogation ;but in all that has appeared, that we have met with, the same conclusion has been reached, that when Dr. Cutler visited New York in July, 1787, to negotiate for the purchase of a tract of land for the Ohio Company, he shaped the Ordinance adopted by Congress on July 13,1787, for the government of the Northwest territory. Some indeed go so far as to argue that Dr. Cutler brought the Ordinance with him from New England and made the adoption of certain provisions found in it a ine qua non in the purchase of land. The most thorough piece of work called forth in this discussion is the address by John M. Merriam, Esq.
